§((i.mf. one has defined the average preface to a book to lie an 
f© apology for producing it, and as the compiler of this book 
is somewhat inclined to favor this definition, the "apology," 
on this occasion, will be limited to a brief statement of 



FACT. 

To those who, for years past, have systematically packed 
their campaign equipage as soon as Old Sol commenced 
in earnest to try how superlatively hot he could make the 
narrow, walled -in, stone-covered streets of the metropolis, and 
fled to the choice summer retreats along the Erie, to find 
rest, health and recreation in the midst of unrivaled scenic 



attractions, no explanation of the purpose and scope of this 
book is necessary. These know its value from acquaintance 
with previous issues, and will consult its pages without advice ; 
but to those whose knowledge of this " Royal Road " is limited to 
a panoramic remembrance of its grandly picturesque scenery, 
derived from car-window glimpses during a daylight ride over 
the road, it is in order to give an explanation of 



OUR OBJECT, 

which is to bring those who are seeking desirable country 
homes for the summer, or, for the time being only, into com- 
munication with those who have them to offer, and it is intended 
to be a complete and reliable directory to reputable country 
hotels and summer boarding places and farm-houses, where 
accommodation may be had. This Directory also contains 
information as to prices of board, running of trains, rates of 
fare, etc., and a brief description of natural attractions, and the 
opportunities offered for mental and physical recreation. 

This information has been carefully and conscientiously col- 
lected, and is compiled solely for the benefit of patrons of the 
Erie, and it has been the aim of the Company to give place and 
encouragement to those only who will keep faith with its 
patrons. In every instance assurances have been given that 
everything pertaining to the accommodations mentioned shall 
be as represented. For this reason, should you find any of the 
boarding places noted in this directory to be misrepresented in 
any particular, you are earnestly requested to notify the General 
Fassenger Agent of the fact, in order that such may be omitted 
from future editions. 

For the accommodation and convenience of those who locate 
for the season, or temporarily, on the line, this company has 
with great care arranged a train service exceptionally adequate 
to the end in view, as may be observed by a glance at the 
local time-tables to be found elsewhere in this book. These 
local trains are composed of comforable and well-appointed 
coaches — fitted with all the modern appliances for the conven- 
ience and safety of travelers — which run at convenient intervals, 
to and fro, between New York and the different stations at or 
near which these Summer Homes and Resorts are located, and 
the fares for a single round- trip, a series of trips covering the 
season, or, for a special excursion party seeking recreation at 
any of the Day-Resorts, are so moderate as to be a mere baga- 
telle, considering the service rendered. 

T t is a fact, conceded by the thousands of summer pilgrims 
who have for years found their Mecca somewhere on the line of 
the Erie, that the Eastern and Delaware Divisions and branches 
are exceptionally prolific in attractive and healthful summer 
retreats of such diverse character that, be he artist, author, an- 
tiquarian, angler, hunter, idler — what not? he cannot fail, here, 
to find some spot to satisfy his longing, and, withal, easy of 
access, and at moderate cost. 




"A SUMMER HOME ON THE ERIE" 

is become but a synonym for SOLID comfort, to those who for 
years have found sanctuary somewhere on the line of the East- 
ern and Delaware Divisions and branches, no matter what 
particular taste or requirement is to be satisfied. 

THE BUSINESS MAN, 

who for years has lived his life at fever-heat in the city, may 
find here a retreat that will renew his youth, and give wife and 
children a taste of the almost forgotten farm-life of his child- 
hood, with its wholesome food and its democratic surroundings, 
that allow one to don unconventional garments, and ramble at will 
through forest and field. Or, if he prefer, he may discover many 
a resort where he may continue the round of fashionable pleasure 
habitual to his city life, untrammeled by the rigid society laws of 
the metropolis, and free, if he choose, to step from the heated 
ball-room for a refreshing stroll over breezy hill-top or through 
quiet moon-lit grove, taking in renewed health and vigor with 
every draught of the pure, bracing air he inhales. Should he 
be so situated that his business requires his daily presence in the 
city, he may find on the Erie — within fifteen minutes' to an 
hour's ride — many a charming and healthful place, where he 
may have a choice of domicile, ranging from board in a private 
dwelling, or life in a cosy and convenient cottage or more 



8 



pretentious villa, to superior accommodation in a first-class hotel 
with all the modern improvements. He may, of course, make 
his "summering" as expensive as he pleases, but whatever 
may be his circumstances, whether he be the recipient of a small 

salary only, or blessed with a 
colossal bank account, he will 
find prices to suit his purse, and 
it will need but one season to 
convince him that it is cheaper 
to spend his summer in the 
country than to stay at home. 

THE SPORTSMAN 

who has lived long in New York 
will vouch for the statement, 
that for two hundred miles out 
from the city, in the territory 
traversed by the Erie, the hunt- 
ing and fishing is unsurpassed, 
and that many of the sporting 
grounds so easily and cheaply 
reached, are the most popular 
of any in this country. The 
mountain streams and lakes (to 
be particularly noted further on) 
are exceptionally well stocked 
with game-fish of every variety 
— trout, bass, pike, pickerel, 
etc., while the wooded hills and 
mountains will give the hunter 
plenty of occupation for dog 
and gun, and, in the wilder 
portions, for rifle and hound. 





SUMMER DAY-RESORTS. 

In addition to the many delightful "Summer Homes" 
along its line, the Erie is peculiarly favored with several 
charming and well appointed "Summer Day-Resorts" 



and picnic grounds, specially adapted to the accommodation 
and entertainment ol schools, lodges, clubs, societies and the 
like. Among them may be named Shohola Glen, which not 
only rivals the famous Watkins (den in its marvelous display 
of nature's handiwork, but has the advantage of location in 
such close proximity to New York, that within the next few 
years— as soon as the fame of it has a chance to go out through 
the land— it will be the most thoroughly visited pleasure resort 
on the continent. 

Greenwood and Sterling Lakes are also famous for their 
picturesqueness, their healthful and invigorating climate and 
their exceptional facilities for fishing and hunting. 

Pamphlets, describing particularly the attractions of these 
Summer Day -Resorts, will be mailed free to any address upon 
application to the General Passenger Agent. 

SUBURBAN HOMES. 

The Erie Raiiway is also specially favored in healthful and 
well-appointed suburban towns that are particularly adapted to 
Permanent Suburban Residence, and in order to stimu- 
late and encourage a rapidly growing demand among the 
business men of New York, for homes in the country that 
should be within easy reach of their places of business, 
this company has not only rearranged and enlarged the 
scope of its train service, but it has adopted special freight 
rates on lumber and building material intended to be used in 
the erection of hotels, dwellings, etc., and is putting up new 
and tasteful depots and buildings at various stations and other- 
wise improving its permanent equipment. For instance — At 
Jersey City, work is already commenced on a new and com- 
modious passenger station which will be architecturally beautiful 
and specially well arranged for the convenience of patrons. In 
fact, it is the desire of the management, at all times, and in 
every way possible to provide and maintain such facilities as 
will assure its patrons of its desire to co-operate with them in 
developing along the line a condition of thorough contentment 
and prosperity. 

For the benefit of those who seek desirable locations for perma- 
nent suburban homes, this company has recently issued a book 
descriptive of the territory specially adapted to suburban resi- 
dence, which contains complete and particular information re- 
garding the location and surroundings of nearby towns, together 
with estimates of average rentals, prices of building plats and 
cost of building, terms of building associations, etc., etc., and 
an examination of its pages will develop to the thousands who 
are now housed in cramped, uncomfortable quarters " up-town " 
or in Brooklyn, that they may find resting places that will prove 
to be homes indeed, and at prices to suit their purses, and withal 
more quickly and conveniently reached by the Erie's fast suburban 
trains than are their present places of abode by the tedious 
street-car or the overcrowded elevated road. This book will be 
mailed free to any address upon application to the General Pas- 
senger Agent.

ITINERARY. 



Into tin: depths of Bergen Hill and out again into the summer 
sundiine ; a neck and neck race with the shadows across the 
great Jersey Meadows, and soon, to the left appears a range of 



wooded hills upon the crest of which is located the first of the 
Erie summer retreats : 

Rutherford, N.J. — As quickly reached from the City Hall, 
New York, as is Twenty-third street by the elevated road, this 
healthy, thriving town, is the residence of many New York 
business men, whose elaborate dwellings and elegant grounds 
show cultivated taste. Situated in the midst of the high, rolling 
country lying between the "Meadows" and the Passaic river, 
a natural drainage is afforded which cannot be excelled by art. 
The subsoil is gravel and clear sand, with an abundance of pure 
well water at a depth of 16 to 20 feet. Climate and soil 
adapted to all garden products, fruits, vines, etc. Enjoyable 
drives in every direction ; good fishing and boating in Passaic 
river ; woodcock and snipe shooting in Jersey Meadows. Many 
schools, both public and private, and churches of every denom- 
ination. Excellent stores and markets. 

Three miles beyond Rutherford is 

Passaic, N. J.— A place of metropolitan culture and enter- 
prise, situated in the elevated country just beyond the Passaic 
river. It has a population of 9,000 to 10,000, with a steady 
yearly increase. There are many elegant and costly residences, 
indicating a community of refined and cultivated tastes; excel- 
lent schools, both public and private, and churches of every 
denomination. The shops and stores are well stocked, the 
several daily newspapers lively and progressive, and the fire 
and police departments effective. The streets are broad and 
well lighted, and there are upwards of fifty miles of flagged 
sidewalks. There is an abundance of water, and the climate 
and soil are favorable to vegetables, fruits, vines, etc. Just in 
the outskirts of Passaic, on the " Notcli road," are the cele- 
brated Speer's Vineyards, the only vineyards so near New York 
that the grapes may be cut and delivered to the consumer with- 
out rehandling. The surrounding country is high and healthy ; 
there are fine drives in every direction, and good boating and 
fishing in the river and Dundee lake is but three miles away. 

" The Citizens' Association," composed of wealthy and prom- 
inent citizens of Passaic, has for its object the permanent im- 
provement of the city in the way of pavements, water works, 
sewers, street-car lines, public baths, etc., etc., and under its 
auspices Passaic promises to become, in a short space of time, 
a model inland city. 

A short mile beyond Tassaic brings us to 

Clifton, N. J. — This exceptionally healthy town of 500 in- 
habitants is located in the midst of a gently undulating country, 
thus securing a natural surface drainage. Subsoil — gravel, 
underlying which is fine flint sand ; clear, cold well water 
obtained at a depth of 20 feet. Union church, used by all 
denominations, also used on occasion for public entertainments. 
Good public school, with about 180 pupils. Driving park in 
centre of town. Good hotel nearby to beautiful grove. Sur- 
roundings delightful : Fine drives to Paterson, Passaic, Ruther- 
ford and Hackensack. Roads broad, solid and clean. Dundee 
lake and Passaic river only a short walk. A picturesque brook 
flows through a portion of the town. Good fishing and gun- 



13 

ning. Dwellings tasteful in style and comfortably appointed, 
many having superior water and drainage facilities. 

The next town in order is 

Lake View, N.J. — A suburb of Paterson, of which it forms the 
Fourth and Eighth Wards. Situated between that city and the 
village of Clifton, this quiet village partakes of the character- 
istics of both places. Population, 300. The residence of many 
New York business men. Natural drainage, and abundance of 
pure water. Climate and soil adapted to fruits, vines, vegeta- 
bles, etc. Passaic river near at hand, and Dundee lake one 
mile distant. Methodist church, and large modern public 
school, with four teachers besides the principal. Good hotel. 

Paterson, N. J. — This city is essentially one of industry 
and trade. Manufactories brought it into existence, and, given 
the necessary aid by the construction of the Erie Railway, 
fostered its growth until it has become the third city in the 
State in population (70,000), and one of the greatest in the 
Union in importance, variety and extent of its manufacturing 
interests. The Passaic river, with its grandly picturesque 
cataract is right in the heart of the city. The scenery round 
about Paterson is romantic, the Passaic Falls being second 
only to Niagara in grandeur. There are many choice drives, 
and numerous handsome churches, schools, etc. The impos- 
ing residences and attractive grounds, and the architectural 
completeness and beauty of the public buildings and places of 
business, bespeak the existence of a cultivated and progressive 
community. The stores and shops of Paterson are exception- 
ally well stocked, and residents of the outlying towns on either 
side — Clifton, Lake View, Garfield, Hawthorne, Ridgewood, 
etc. — find it of great convenience for shopping and marketing 
purposes. While Paterson makes no particular provision for 
the summer boarder, there are many hotels which furnish 
excellent accommodation to the visitor. 

Hawthorne, N.J. — A well drained, healthy town of 200, and 
growing rapidly, the increase in population during the past 
year being fifteen per cent. Situate on the bank of the Passaic, 
opposite Paterson. Good boating and fishing. The surround- 
ing country is generally rolling and well wooded, the Goffle 
Hills furnishing a proper background to a charming landscape. 
Subsoil— gravel, with underlying free sandstone. Excellent 
well water at a depth of 15 to 20 feet. Climate and soil suita- 
ble to every variety of fruits, vegetables, etc. Two public 
schools and Union church. 

RlDGEWOOD, N. J. — An enterprising village, with a popula- 
tion of 1800, which is steadily increasing, showing a gain of six 
per cent, during 1SS5. Situate in the heart of the Paramus 
Valley, and surrounded by sloping, forest -covered bills, Ridge- 
wood is destined to become one of the most charming of inland 
cities. Originally, taking its name from an early settler, it was 
called Godwinville, but a few years since it was re-christened with 
its present name, from a wooded ridge which extends for miles 
parallel with the line of the Erie. There are many tasteful and 
elaborate residences, and many prominent New York business 
men make this their home. Unexcelled surface drainage and 



u 



water supply. Exceptionally healthy. Five public and two 
private schools. One Episcopal and two Dutch Reformed 
churches. Climate and soil favor the perfect growth and 
development of vegetables, fruits and vines. Splendid drives 
and good fishing and gunning near at hand. As an evi- 
dence of the prosperity of Ridgewood, during 1885 nineteen 
cottages and two stores were completed and many others started, 
besides which, many permanent improvements were made in 
the way of fine stables and outbuildings. The town is about to 
be laid out in lots, and a portion of the ridge opposite the depot 
will be used as a public park. 

Hohokus, N. J. — Surrounded by most romantic and pictur- 
esque scenery, this charming village offers 
rare attractions to him who would pitch his 
tent in the midst of rural beauty. Hohokus 
is an Indian term, and there is some un- 
certainty as to whether it should be inter- 
preted to mean ' ' Hollow Rock ' ' or 
"Swiftly Running Water." However, 
the Hohokus creek, from which the town 
derives its name, is a swift running stream, 
its fountainhead being a series of spring-fed 
lakelets far up among the hills, from which 
it comes coursing down through the " Syl- 
van Glen," a densely wooded ravine, with here and there a 
rock-bound spring of ice-cold water, providing a delightfully 




cool and refreshing re- 
summer days. The ^ 
ing country are re- V U 
no malaria, no chills 
drainage and pure 
abundance. From -^ 
cent views of the 
around are to be had, 
walks and drives in 
ceptionally good fish- 
There is also much 




treat during the hot 
town and surronnd- 
markably healthy; 
— excellent surface 
cold spring water in 
the hilltops magnifi- 
country for miles 
and there are splendid 
every direction. Ex- 
^ ing and gunning, 
of historic interest in 



this region ; among other things the Paramus church, which 

was used by the British as a prison for colonial troops, is still 

standing. Climate and soil excellent for 

all products. About a mile and a half 

away, in the Saddle River Valley, is the 

summer home of Joseph Jefferson, the 

actor. It comprises a model farm of 52 y 

acres, in which he has a trout pond, and 

almost on the bank of the Saddle river is 

his quaintly picturesque old stone house 

of many spires and gables. Hohokus has 

a population of 600, a good public school, 

a Catholic and a Methodist church. 

Allendale, N. J.— A progressive village of 500, which 
showed an increase of twelve per cent, in population during 18S5. 
Situated on the bank of the Saddle river, in the midst of a well- 
wooded, hilly country. Healthfulness unquestioned. Surface 




•5 

drainage and plentiful supply of excellent water. Climate and 
soil adapted to every variety of vegetables, fruits and vines. 
Many handsome places of residence. The streams, which are 
plentiful, arc alive with game fish of every variety, and the 
hunter will find plenty of occupation for dog and gun. There 
is one public and one private school, and a Methodist and an 
Episcopal church. Allendale has also a fine public hall. 

RAMSEYS, N.J. — Ramseyshas advanced from a single house, 
when the Erie was built, to its present population of 600; that 
twenty per cent, of this increase occurred during 18S5 attests to 
its enterprise and thrift. Situated at the outlet of that portion 
of the Ramapo Valley lying in northern New Jersey, it occupies 
the highest portion of Bergen County. It has everything to rec- 
ommend it. The entire region is healthful and beautiful. The 
climate is perfect and the soil productive to a rare degree, making 
the locality famous for perfection attained by its fruits and vege- 
tables. There are enjoyable drives and romantic walks, and 
there is good gunning. It is the permanent home of many 
prominent and cultivated people. The dwellings are tasteful, 
and an abundant supply of pure water is obtained from wells 12 
to 16 feet in depth. There are one Lutheran and two Reformed 
Dutch churches, and a good public school. 

MAHWAH, N.J. --Situated at the entrance to the charming 
Ramapo Valley, and in the midst of a country famous for its 
crops and prize cattle, as well as for itspicturesqueness, Mahwah 
is in many ways desirable as an abiding place. It has a popu- 
lation of 200 to 300, and numbers among its permanent residents 
many noted New York business men. Delightful walks and 
drives to cool and healthful mountain retreats. Good fishing 
and hunting. The view of the Ramapo Mountains from this 
point is fine. Healfhfulness unquestioned ; drainage perfect and 
an abundance of spring water. Climate and soil adapted to all 
varieties of fruits and vegetables. Good public school and a 
Reformed Dutch church.

Jn the Ramapo y alley, 



ITINERARY. 



Sufff.rx, N. V. — Situate almost at the base of " Old Houver- 
kopf," in the rocky pass of the Ramapo, Suffern, with its sur- 
roundings, presents a choice picture of natural beauty. South- 
ward and eastward from the mountains, as far as the eye can 
reach, the landscape is made up of rolling woodland, inter- 
spersed with thrifty farms. Through this broad expanse, many 
a brook and rivulet makes its way to the Ramapo, and dotted 
here and there are numerous lakes and ponds. The hunter or 
fisher in this region may always count on the best of luck. The 
entire country is exceptionally healthy. Leading physicians 
specially recommend its climate to sufferers from bronchial and 
pulmonary affections. We quote from Joseph W. Howe, M. P., 
a standard authority on the health resorts of the world. In his 
Homes for Invalids Dr. I Iowe says : 

"It is not generally known that we have in the State of New 
York a sanitarium for invalids which is not excelled by any of 



the health resorts of Minnesota. Thirty miles from this city, on 
the Erie Railway, there is a pleasant village called Suffern, 
picturesquely situated in the Ramapo Valley, at the base of the 
Ramapo Mountains. It is protected on the north, west and east 
by the mountains. The air is cool, clear and bracing, and the 
thermal variations are small. Owing to its southern exposure 
and protection from the northwesterly winds afforded by the 
mountains, invalids who are in the early stages of consumption, 
or those suffering from chronic bronchitis, can exercise in the 
open air nearly every day. Miasmatic fevers are unknown in 
this portion of the valley. The view from Union Hill and the 
mountains on the north, up and down the valley, is unsurpassed. 
Invalids in this State will do well to try the neighborhood of 
Suffern before attempting the long and tedious journey to 
Minnesota." 

There are delightful drives in every direction. The beautiful 
Sterling lake is but twelve miles away. The country abounds 
in natural curiosities, and there is much of historic interest, 
notably the "Old Hopper House" and the "Tome Moun- 
tain," to both of which cling particular memories of Washing- 
ton. While on his way to Ncwburgh, after the battle of 
Trenton, Washington was obliged to move his troops through 
\^. WW WW //,/ //// ,.," 




the Ramapo Valley, and for seven weeks he encamped his army 
at a point between Suffern and Mahwah, on what is now known 
as Havermeyer's Mountainville Farm. He made his head- 
quarters at the farm-house of Andrew Hopper, who at that 
time owned all the country thereabouts, and it was at this 
"Hopper House " that his letters and despatches, dated " Head- 
quarters, Bergen County," were written. When he continued 
his march toward Newburgh, in order to intercept and harass 
the British, he left a detachment of troops in " Suffern's Clove," 
which was the name of the rocky pass affording entrance to the 
Ramapo Valley. Just above this pass, and almost overlooking 
the village of Suffern, is the Tome mountain, which, rising 750 
feet above the surrounding country and 1,100 feet above the 



23 



level of the sea, is capped by an immense dome of gray stone. 
It lias always been a famous point of observation. Here, on a 
clear day, a portion of New York bay, Statcn Island and the 
ocean can be distinctly seen ; and it was from this point that 
Washington, while on his way to Newburgh, observed with his 
glass the strength <>f the British fleet in New York bay. The 
population of Suffern numbers 600 to 700, and ten per cent, 
increase during 1SS5, together w ith the erection of many new 
buildings, will attest to its thrift and progressiveness. It has 
broad streets and attractive homes, and there are many well- 
appointed country seats and prosperous farms. Effective drain- 
age and an abundance of spring ami well water. One public 
and two private schools, and a Catholic, a Methodist and an 
Episcopalian church. 

Leaving Suffern, the Erie swings into the Ramapo Valley, 
and it looks as if the train was going to 
make a plunge into the rocky walls of the 
mountain, but a narrow defile occurs at 
the proper time, and admits its entrance. 
No power of transformation could work a 
more magical change. A scene of serene 
and charming pastoral beauty is left behind, 
and we dash into one of rugged grandeur. 
^_^--~~s02? Great piles of earth and rock on either

Sterlington, Sloatsburg, Tuxedo Park, Southfields and Green- 
wood, while here and there on the moun- 
tain side are cosy spots on which to 
perch a cottage or mountain summer 
retreat. The river itself is a panorama of 
rare beauty. Its headwaters are in a 
scries of mountain springs and lakes, and 
in its course through the valley it first 
meanders across the fiat lands, then sinks 
into a narrow, deep bowl, to widen pres- 
ently into a placid lake and finally, be- 
fore its exit into the level country beyond 
the valley, it tumbles over a ledge of 
rocks, and falls, a seething, roaring mass, to its rocky bed full 
fifty feet below. In the quiet portions the boating is charming ■ 




24 

the banks now and then open into snug grottoes and dells, down 
which come sparkling, splashing streams from the rock-bound 
springs above, while the dense overhanging foliage affords a 
refreshing shade, and there are many sheltered pools where 
the bathing is delightful. The river, as well as the mountain 
lakes from which it springs, is populous with game fish, and in 
the wooded mountains game of every variety — including quail, 
partridge, rabbits, squirrels, etc. — is plentiful, insuring to the 
visitor the best of sport with rod or gun. 

The Ramapo country is in every way charming, and in the 
way of convenient and well appointed retreats, eminently well 
arranged for the accommodation of the summer visitor. 

Hili.burn is in the rocky pass commanding the entrance 
to the valley. With its winding and well shaded streets, its 
fountain and its handsome places of residence, it presents a very 
attractive picture and is a choice spot for a summer home. 

Ramapo, a short mile beyond, derives its name from a tribe 
of Indians called Eamapaugh. It is in the midst of surround- 
ings beautiful to an extreme, and in every direction one may 
find something to charm him. Lakes, water-falls and glens 
are scattered about with a prodigality unequaled, while ele- 
gantly-appointed country seats greet the eye at every turn. 

At STERLINGTON, one mile from Ramapo, the railroad of the 
Sterling Iron Works joins the Erie. The Ramapo Mountains 
are full of iron, and the Sterling mines were the first worked 
in this country. They furnished the ore from which, during 
the Revolution, the great chain was wrought which was 
stretched across the Hudson at Newburgh. The Sterling Com- 
pany's railroad runs to Sterling lake — famous for its beauty, 
and a popular summer resort. 

Sloatsburg, less than a mile beyond Sterlington, is in the 
midst of wild and beautiful surroundings, with streams and lakes 
in profusion. It is a paradise for sportsmen ; Tuxedo lake, 3 
miles ; Portague lake, 1 mile ; Cedar lake, 2 miles ; others in 
the vicinity. Romantic drives. Bass and pickerel fishing. 
Good hunting. Lakes from 500 to 1,000 feet above tide. Wild 
surroundings. Partridge, woodcock and quail. Many people 
make this their summer resting place. 

The next station in order is 

Tuxedo Park, named from a beautiful lake a mile and a 
half distant, which is famous as a fishing ground. The lake, 
together with about 6,000 acres of the country immediately sur- 
rounding it, belongs to the Lorillard estate. During the past 
year this entire tract was put under the control of the Tuxedo 
Park Association, which, composed of wealthy gentlemen of 
New York, is organized for the purpose of converting this prop- 
erty into a colossal game preserve and sporting ground, and 
the work of preparation has been in progress for some months. 
For months upwards of 1,200 men have been constantly at 
work, excavating, grading and rearranging generally, so that 
already a great deal has ljeen accomplished toward effecting the 
object of the projectors of this enterprise, and that is to make this 
resort the most extensive and complete of its kind in the world. 
At the station, among other things, the improvements will com- 



25 

prise a new depot of unique and tasty design, sundry shops and 
stores, and a score or more of handsome residences to be located 
on the plateau which rises gently to the foot <>f the mountain 
that looms up grandly in the background. The grounds about 
the station will be made beautiful with flowers and shrubbery. 
The roadway to the park follows the course of a mountain 
rivulet, and is protected l>y a rustic stone wall which terminates 
at the entrance to tin' park, where the rivulet is spanned by an 
immense stone arch, over which is the gate-keeper's lodge. 
The lodge, the arch and the wall arc composed of moss-covered 
rocks, so that the entire structure will look as if it had weath- 
ered the storms of centuries. The most radical improvement, 
however, occurs in the park itself, particularly between the 
gateway and the lake ; here the workmen are digging, blasting, 
filling in, felling trees, etc., in their efforts to construct a boule- 
vard, which will afford a wide driveway from the station to the 
club house at the head of the lake. From the entrance to the 
park, this roadway takes at first an easy grade on its way 
up the mountain : Sweeping in a majestic curve, here it clings 
to the mountain side, and again it pushes out to the edge of the 




valley, close by the course of a miniature river made picturesque 
by diminutive cascades and cataracts. A little further on it 
crosses a narrow gorge on a stone viaduct — moss covered, like 
the lodge and the wall at the entrance — and here the first view 
of the lake is presented. From this point the roadway takes a 
heavier grade on its winding way around the face of the moun- 
tain, reaching its highest point and a mountain pass at the same 
time, from whence it makes a quick descent on the other side, 
and shortly terminates at the door of the club house. The 
dimensions of this building are 200 x 250 feet, and fourstories in 
height besides the basement. It will be provided with parlors, 
reading room, cafe, an immense ball-room, a theatre, billiard 
room, bowling alley, etc., etc. From the club-house north- 
ward, the view comprehends a large portion of the Ramapo 
Valley, while to the south it takes in the Sterling Mountain 
country. The lake is irregular in shape, about two and a half 



26 

miles long and of varying width, from two hundred yards in 
the middle to half a mile at either end. Its greatest depth is 
seventy feet, and it is populous with game fish, and in order to 
keep it always well stocked a fish hatchery is to be provided. 
There is to be a delightful drive around the lake, and plenty of 
boats on its waters, and the shores will be dotted with the ele- 
gant cottages of members of the association. There will also 
be miles of picturesque drives in every direction throughout the 
park, which will afford magnificent views as they cross the val- 
leys or ascend the mountains. When everything is in good 
running order, take it altogether, with its setting of rugged for- 
est-covered mountains, this gem of pleasure resorts will present 
a charming picture . Back, near the entrance to the park and 
close to Portague Lake, are the stables, with accommodation 
for one hundred horses. These stables will be connected with 
the club-house by telephone. Those who are so fortunate as 
to have the entre to this resort are not restricted to the summer 
season for recreation, as in winter there will be skating, sleigh- 
ing, tobogganing, ice boating, and other seasonable sports. 
The park wil. be kept well stocked with quail, partridge, En- 
glish pheasants, deer and other game, which will be effectually 
preserved. It will be surrounded by a high and serviceable 
wire fence, and game-keepers will be stationed at proper inter- 
vals to prevent the intrusion of undesirable visitors. All well- 
conducted persons will be freely admitted to the park, and 
permitted to wander at pleasure ; but none except members of 
the association, or those who live within the confines of the park, 
will be allowed to hunt or fish. Too much praise cannot be 
accorded the public spirit and enterprise displayed by Mr. Pierre 
Lonllard and his associates in this undertaking, which will 
place almost at our very doors a resort of absolutely unrivaled 
attractions. 

Southfields, sublime in its surroundings, is less than four 
miles beyond Tuxedo Park. The scenery embraces innumerable 
lakes, glens and streams, and is unsurpassed in picturesqueness. 
A number of well known public men have country seats here.

mences the world renowned Orange County dairy region, and

'Qn. THE J^EWAR^K ^RANCH. 



ITINERARY. 



The country traversed by this branch of the Erie is in every 
way charming, and while the towns are particularly calculated 
to furnish desirable summer homes, the permanent residents do 
not as a rule, make a practice of accommodating summer visitors 
for the season. The only exception this season is the town of 

Franklin, N. J., situated in a country which is high and 
rolling, and beautifully diversified with running streams and 
woodland of large growth. A natural drainage and salubrious 
climate, render it exceptionally healthful and desirable as a 
Summer Retreat. There is good boating and fishing, and 
there are fine drives in every direction and charming views for 
miles around.

^MONQ THE ]4uD£OjM ]4lQHLAND^. 

VIA NEWBURCH SHORT CUT. 



ITINERARY. 






Some of the most beautiful 
and healthful country on the 
line of the Erie is found along 
the "Short Cut," which extends 
from Turners to Newburgh, the 
greater part of the way hugging 
the base of a lofty wall of moun- 
tains. From "Butter Hill," 
which forms the limit of its up- 
heaval to the northward, and 
there stands guard over the 
southern entrance to New- 
burgh Bay, this wall sweeps 
southward and through the 
western portion of Rockland 
County, and still further on 
mingles its peaks with the Jer- 
sey Hills. In general appear- 
ance it is broken up and varie- 
gated, and prominent for its 
craggy and elevated peaks, 
among which, on the south, is 
the giant "Torne," which 
towers above the village of 
Suffern. The range is cut 
with deep glens and valleys, 
and in its rocky crests it holds 
many a shimmering lake. This 
was a prominent field of action 
during our struggle for inde- 
pendence, and it is rich in 
memories of Washington and 
Lafayette, and Cieenand Clin- 
ton and Knox, and a host of 
others whose names and deeds 
are matters of sacred history 
t to this Republic. Aside from 
the delightful scenery of the 
Highland region and the his- 
toric interest attached to it, the 
experience of years has demoli- 
sh ated the fact that the air 
which circulates among these 
hills and valleys is possessed of 
curative properties that render 
the existence of pulmonary and 
bronchial affections next to an 
impossibility. From the Schu- 
nemunk Range to the Corn- 



45 



wall Hills, it is stated that there is a well-defined line 
which marks the boundaries <>f this rare mountain atmosphere, 
and that the ana of its presence is within the mountain eleva- 
tions just mentioned. There are innumerable instances of in- 
valids being restored to robust health by a lew seasons spent in 
this natural sanitarium. Take it all in all, no section of country 
is more favorably situated or adapted to the location of summer 
retreats and resting places. Leaving Turners and passing 
in the order named the charming villages of Central Valley, 
Highland Mills, Woodbury, Mountainville and Cornwall — 
situated on the northwest slope of the I Highlands, in the midst of 
lofty mountains and beautiful lakes and streams, with wonderful 
drives and rambles in every direction the road brings us to the 
historic locality of which the village of New Windsor is the centre. 
Here the road turns abruptly to the east, and through a pass in 
the mountain begins its descent to the Hudson ; and from here 
on to Newburgh, the scenery is simply indescribable. At this 
point is obtained a magnificent view of the riser, its broad ex- 
panse gleaming in the sunlight, white with sails and the curling 
clouds of steam from the busy ferryboats and steamers. West 
Point, the Gibraltar of America, forms a grand portion of the 




-^'^Sgrlfil 




picture down the river, while the lofty crests of Cro' Nest, Bare 
Mountain, and other Highland buttresses, together with the bold 
peaks rising from the eastern shore of the river, combine to give 
the scene a complete Rhenish character. There are a myriad 
of choice spots along the "Short Cut," particularly desirable 
for those seeking resting places for the summer, full particulars 
ot which may be had by consulting the following:

ITINERARY. 



Milford, Pa. — A drive of seven miles from Port Jervis, over 
a road hard as cement and wonderfully smooth, running along 
the base of a lofty and precipitous range of mountains crowned 
with high, perpendicular cliffs of slate rock, brings the tourist 
to the village of Milford, the favorite summer home of hundreds 
of city people. The attractions of Milford are, first, its charm- 
ing location ; second, the grand work nature has done around 
it ; third, its fishing and hunting grounds ; fourth, the general 
excellence of its hotels. Milford lies on a broad plateau, 200 
feet above the Delaware river, commanding a view up the 
valley that is indescribably beautiful, taking in the mountains, 
vales, plains and forests of three States — the Delaware winding 
through the landscape, and visible for miles. 




From the bluff overlooking the river the village of Port Jervis 
may be seen, and trains on the Erie, ascending the western slope 
of the Shawangunk, are plainly discernible. High hills surround 
the village on three sides, over which shaded roads lead to the 
many interesting points in the vicinity. If the site of Milford 
had been selected especially for a sanitarium a better choice 



6 4 

could not have been made. The streets of the village are broad 
and free from dust, cross each other at right angles, and are 
bordered by splendid maple trees. Although one of the oldest 
villages in the State, few places of its size possess so many- 
modern residences, some of them being of great architectural 
beauty. Milford is an incorporated village. There are no pools 
of standing or stagnant water, marshes, nor low lands anywhere 
in the vicinity of the place. There are four churches — Presby- 
terian, Episcopal, Methodist, and Catholic. 

Long before the visitor approaching Milford reaches the vil- 
lage, he will see a bold mountain standing prominently in the 
landscape before him. This is the Knob, which rises nearly 
1,000 feet above the place, a quarter of a mile distant. A foot- 
path leads to its summit, which is a favorite outlook with sum- 
mer boarders, as the country for forty miles around is brought 
beneath the gaze. A stretch of meadow slopes from the base of 
the Knob to the Sawkill creek, which runs between the moun- 
tain and the village, and, tumbling over an ancient dam, winds 
about in the Glen — a place of stately pines, picturesque islands, 
isolated walks and nooks among overhanging recks ; wooded 
knolls velvety with the moss of centuries ; miniature waterfalls 
tinkling here and there — a place of perpetual shade. No hotel 
or boarding-house in Milford is more than ten minutes' walk 
from this charming spot. 




A mile from Milford are the Sawkill Falls. After flowing for 
some distance at the bottom of a rocky gorge, whose perpen- 
dicular walls of rock rise in places ioo feet above the water, the 
Sawkill creek leaps from a ledge some twenty feet in height, 
then gathers itself in a glassy pool, and a short distance further 
on plunges madly down the face of a perpendicular precipice 
ioo feet, its volume broken into a thousand sparkling forms 
by jutting rocks, and lashed into seething, foaming fury at the 
bottom. From the large circular basin at the bottom of the 
wild gorge, wherein the waters of the brook grow calmer after 
their mighty plunge, they rush through a rocky pass over which 
the spectator may easily step, and for half a mile form into 
noisy rapids and beautiful cataracts, and finally emerge from the 
forest and sing on toward the river. The surroundings of Saw- 
kill Falls are weird in the extreme, and the scene is one never to 
be forgotten. 









A 5 

A mile below Milford begin the Cliffs, a wall of perpendicu 
lar rock two miles in length, towering Soo feet above the road 
which passes down the valley at its feet. Tin's seamed and 
craggy precipice, with its crown of cedar, spruce and other ever- 
greens, is easy of access by a mountain road, which continues 
along the summit of the Cliffs. No words arc adequate to de- 
scribe the grandeur of the scene that meets the eye from this 
elevation. It takes in a great part of New York, New Jersey 
and Pennsylvania, the Catskills, the blue Ridge and the Kitta- 
tiny Mountains, with their numerous peaks and gaps, being 
prominent in the picture. 

Three miles below Milford, reached either by the river road 
or a mountain road in the interior, are the Falls of the Ray- 
mondskill. A mile above the junction of the Raymondskill 
creek with the 1 Jelaware, its waters, after numerous falls of from 
IO to 20 feet, rush down a sloping, jagged ledge of rock 100 
feet, not in continuous fall, but in a series of contused tumbles, 
the water being lashed and beaten into a mass of dashing foam. 
Finding the bottom, it hurries on, a smooth, glassy stretch of 
stream, in which the rocky walls, the blue sky and the over- 
hanging trees and foliage are beautifully mirrored, and with one 
wild leap of nearly 75 feet reaches the level of the creek below, 
to rush on through a dark gorge at the base of a mountain ris- 
ing nearly 1,000 feet high. To the left of the second fall, com- 
ing timorously down its mossy bed from some place high up in 
the mountain, a gauzy stream of water tumbles to the creek, a 
silvery torrent aptly called the Bridal Veil. The surroundings 
are the wild woods and the towering hills — the very home of 
solitude. 

There are hundreds of other popular retreats on the Sawkill 
and Raymondskill, while the Vandermarck creek, Deep brook, 
and other streams present their share of beauties to the lover of 
the wild and sublime. All these streams are famous trout-brooks, 
of which there are several others within a few miles of Milford. 

The Delaware river for a mile in front of Milford widens into 
a still, deep, eddying body of water, more like a lake than a 
river. A finer place for boating or fishing does not exist. Dur- 
ing the black-bass season, which opens July 1, and continues 
through the year, this part of the river is covered with the boats 
of those who love this most exciting of piscatorial sport, and the 
scene is picturesque and enlivening. Sportsmen will find attend- 
ants and boats at any time in Milford. 

There are several mountain lakes of great beauty in the 
vicinity of Milford, all stocked with pickerel and other choice 
fish. Among these lakes are the Sawkill, Little and Big Brink, 
the two Log Tavern and the two Walker ponds. Excursions to 
these lakes are popular pastimes during the summer season. 

Conashalgh SPRING — Midway between the magnificent 
surroundings of Dingman's, soon to be described, and those of 
Milford, is a spot with attractions of its own, which is rapidly 
becoming one of the most popular resorts in the Delaware 
Valley. This is Conashaugh spring, on the beautiful Cona- 
shaugh brook, and in a valley that is simply charming. The 
brook comes from away back in the hills, and threads wild 



66 

glens, tumbles over jagged rocks, sings through cooling groves, 
and laves frowning mountain bases, forming nooks of a char- 
acter not found in the regions where scenery is more decidedly 
wild and sublime. A step or two from the brook, and perpet- 
ually shaded by the trees that stand thickly about, is the Cona- 
shaugh spring — a pool of the coldest, purest crystal water, bub- 




bling out of the earth through sand white as snow. Three 
rugged mountain peaks rise in the immediate vicinity — one, at 
least 800 feet high — cone shaped and covered with forest trees, 
shutting in the spot as by a wall, and consigning it to a seclu- 
sion that is its greatest charm. 

Dingman's Ferry — It is an easy and delightful drive of 
two hours from Port Jervisto this popular retreat ; easy, because 
the road is so wonderfully hard and smooth ; and delightful, 
because attended with so many varying charms. On one side 
high, rugged cliffs of slate rock, or bold, rugged mountain 
peaks, are ever present, rising close from the border of the road, 
or receding gradually in wooded slopes, and cut here and there 
in deep ravines through which clamorous streams find passage 
to the river. On the other side the sinuous Delaware itself 
gleams and glistens, now in hesitating eddies, then in the fren- 
zied rush of white-capped rapids, or the tossing hurry of the 
gentler rifts. Sometimes a green stretch of meadow, with lazy 
cattle dotting its fragrant acreage, and feeding knee-deep in 
plumy grasses ; sometimes the bulbous front of the gravelly 
knoll, covered thick with birches, with fantastic branches and 
trunks of mottled silver ; or sometimes a field of grain, whose 
feathery bloom is but the short forerunner of the golden gleam 
which invites the reaper to his season's garnering, stands 
stubbornly in the course the river otherwise would go, and drives 
it off by roundabout ways until it seems to be lost somewhere 
beyond the trees, only to find its way presently back upon the 
scene again, always when least expected. Once or twice the 
stream is looked down upon from dizzy heights, across which 
the road leads to tributary valleys beyond, and at the base of 
which, a hundred feet below, the waters surge and beat, having 
grown dark and deep and wide in their wanderings. From 
these elevations the tourist may take in the valley with his gaze 
for miles each way, and see it at its fairest.

Dingman's Ferry is an old village, and in the centre of a 
'•scenic wonder-land." The endless chain of mountains that 
hems it about is traversed by streams of considerable size, which, 
rising in the still higher lands of the " back country," are literally 
hurled and tumbled over precipices and obtruding rocks, from 
the time they leave the parent springs until they reach the level 
of the valley, over a thousand feet below. They have worn 
deep ravines and curious chambers in the rocks ; hollowed out, 
by continuous falling, basins that are all but bottomless, where 
the waters seethe and boil, and the stoutest of heart and surest 
of step only dare venture ; and flow through chasms to the bot- 
tom of which the sun has never cast a beam. In the vicinity 
of Dingman's Ferry six of these streams thunder down the 

m o u n t a i n . The 
Dingman creek and 
Adam's creek are 
particularly prolific 
in these grand 
works of nature. 
Their cataracts and 
glens and gorges 
annually furnish 
subjects to both 
poet and painter. 
The Factory Falls, 
Fulmer Falls, High 
Falls, and Silver- 
r Thread Falls, on the 
former stream, are 
equal to any in the 
Catskills. They 
leap over perpen- 
dicular ledges, dash 
d o w n rocky ter- 
races, and break 
into great bodies of 
foam and spray against their confines of cliff, or the ponderous 
boulders that lie heaped in their course. High Falls is a wild 
reach of stream two hundred feet in extent — a high perpendicu- 
lar leap, then a gathering of the waters, and then a thundering 
plunge down the slanting but angular face of the rocks. Fac- 
tory Falls is a tumultuous dropping of the waters of the creek 
wrought to their utmost fury by sharp projecting rocks and 
frequent precipices, until they writhe and contort themselves 
into such shapes as have gained them the name of Maniac 
Waters. Fulmer Falls are a series of most picturesque cata- 
racts. The Silver-Thread Fall is the crowning beauty of these 
mountain torrents. It is a (bread of water but a few feet wide, 
but it comes with one continuous fall of a hundred and fifty 
feet down the face of the mountain, every drop of water being 
lashed into the whitest foam. Its bed is the solid rock, and 
dense forest trees prevent the sun from entering anywhere upon 
it. Standing at the side of the troubled pool which receives the 
waters after their plunge, the visitor may look up along the 




68 

course of the Silver-Thread, and see a patch of blue sky at the 
farther end. This singular waterfall was formerly called the 
Soap Trough, from its foamy appearance, and the trough-like 
channel it has worn in the rock. The falls on Dingman Creek 
are within from one to three miles of the High-Falls House, the 
proprietor of which has rendered them easy of access, they 
having formerly been reached with great difficulty. The Adam's 
Brook, on which there are a still greater number of natural curi- 
osities, is a mile from Dingman's Ferry. This creek is five miles 
in length, and has a fall in that distance of nearly one-quarter 
of a mile. The explorer of its wonders, starting in near its upper 
waters, must follow it in its tortuous and perilous course until 
it reaches the open valley, for so encompassed is it by rocks 
and mountains that it is almost impossible to find a way out of 
the ravine. The White Mountains have nothing surpassing 
Adam's creek in grandeur and sublimity. Like Dingman and 
the other creeks in this vicinity, it is a famous trout -stream, and 
a favorite resort of many persons prominent in letters and art. 

For thirteen miles further down the valley the singularly hard 
and level river-road extends, when the mountains which furnish 
their continuous refuse of slate gravel to form the road make 
a detour, and the highway assumes a different character. The 
Bushkill Falls are thirteen miles from Dingman's ; the Delaware 
Water Gap twenty -five. Conveyances are furnished at Ding- 
man's for visiting all these attractions in the valley.

ITINERARY. 



Monticello— Here, 1,500 feet above the ocean, is one of 
the most charming villages in the State. It is connected with 
the Erie by the Port Jervis and Monticello Railway, which 
traverses the picturesque Neversink Valley and the wild country 
adjacent to it. The ground on which Monticello stands was 
purchased of the estate of Gulian Verplanck in 1803, when it 
was a dense and unexplored forest. The broad street that ex- 
tends east and west through the village for a mile, was originally 
part of a great turnpike running from Newburgh to Cochecton, 
on the Delaware, a thoroughfare to which Monticello owes its 
beginning. The village itself is on rolling land, and its resi- 
dences and private grounds are extremely attractive. High 
hills rise on every side, from which extensive views of the 
rugged outlying country may be enjoyed. The atmosphere is 
pure and bracing, and fevers of any kind never originate in this 
region. The air is peculiarly favorable to asthmatics and per- 
sons afflicted with kindred diseases. A mosquito would be a 
curiosity in this section, and heat never interferes with sleep, 
and neither dampness nor fog render evening or morning disa- 
greeable. 



7i 

There are trout streams in the vicinity, and the best of bass- 
fishing in Pleasant Lake, a beautiful sheet of water one mile 
distant. Katrina Falls, a picturesque cataract, with grand sur- 
roundings ; Edward's Island, in the Neversink ; ami Strange's 

Grove, are favorable retreats about the village, besides the 
unsurpassed fishing found in the vicinity of Monticello, the 
autumn season brings abundance of game ; partridge and other 
small game being especially plenty. The churches of the village 
are an & Episcopal, a Methodist, a Presbyterian and a Catholic. 




White Lake— About eight miles west of Monticello is the 
celebrated mountain resort, White Lake. The drive from Mon- 
ticello to this place is one of the features of the region. The 
road leads over high hills by easy grades, and across deep 
valleys noisy with dashing brooks. Some of the finest views in 
the country are met with between White Lake and Monticello. 
White Lake village has its name from the large and beautiful 
sheet of water that lies at the feet of the mountains lifting up 
their heads about it. The lake is of great depth and punty, 
and is really one immense spring of living water. It formerly 
abounded in trout of a size rarely attained by that species of 
fish, it being on record that they have been caught in the lake 
weighing nearly nine pounds. Some years ago, however, 
pickerel were placed in these waters, and they exterminated the 
trout. To compensate for the loss of the latter, the lake was 
subsequently stocked with black bass from Lake George, and 
the favorite sport of black-bass fishing is now one of the great 
attractions of White Lake. Bass weighing five and six pounds 
are frequently taken, and the piazza columns of the Mansion 
House are ornamented with the " counterfeit presentments " of 
several of these enormous fish, captured by guests. Tradition 
says that there was a fierce Indian battle on the shores of White 
lake, or Kau-ne-ong-ga, as the aborigines called it : be that as 
it may, it is a fact that large numbers of relics, such as arrow- 
heads, spears, etc., have been found about the lake, and similar 
reminders of the lost race are still occasionally picked up. 
The vicinity was no doubt a favorite camping-place of the 
Indians. 

As long ago as 1846 White Lake was a popular summer 
resort, and a hotel was erected for the especial accommodation 



'/2 

of city guests. The natural attractions of the place, together 
with its wonderful healthfulness, have drawn people to it annu- 
ally in increased numbers, until to-day few resorts equal it in 
the number and high character of its boarding-houses. The 
place is not one calculated to foster the frivolities of the so- 
called resorts of fashion, but it is one where substantial families 
find a season of undisturbed repose, and drink in health and 
happiness with every breath of the rare air that comes down 
from the surrounding hills. From any of the near-by emi- 
nences the whole scope of this beautiful section is brought 
beneath the gaze. The prominent features of the near-by land- 
scape are the circling lake and the sloping front of Mount 
Wilder, which rises from the south shore to an altitude of eight 
hundred feet above the water. Farms, woods, valleys, lie in 
every direction, spreading out to the dim line of the Shaw, 
angunk in the southeast, to the looming Mount Sherwood and 
the hazy hills that rise among the Catskills in the north, and 
westward to the mountains shutting in the Delaware and Sus- 
quehanna valleys. 

The outlying country is much of it deep forest, where deei 
and other wild game still abound. In fact, the sojourner at 
White Lake finds the advantage of civilization and the charm 
of the "vast wilderness " combining to make the place unlike 
any other resort of its class in the country, and one that it 
takes more than a single season to "do" properly and sat- 
isfactorily. 

Boats, fishing-tackle, etc., are furnished guests by all hotels 
and boarding houses. They also run carriages to and from 
Monticello trains during the season. 

There are Presbyterian and Reformed churches at White 
Lake, and a Methodist church at Mongaup Valley, a drive of 
four miles.

ITINERARY. 



Sparrowbush, N. Y. — Is a romantic village two miles west 
of Port Jervis. It is in the midst of some of the finest mountain 
scenery of the Delaware Valley. The Hawk's Nest Mountain 
road, which is one of the attractions of Sparrowbush, is an un- 
equaled drive. There are many other natural and artificial at- 
tractions in the vicinity which commend Sparrowbush especially 
to the summer visitor. 

Shohola, Pa.— On the banks of the Delaware, 1,000 feet 
above the sea. Romantic Pike and Sullivan County scenery. 
Shohola Glen one mile from the station ; gorges, waterfalls, 
precipices and deep pools. Shohola creek, a celebrated trout 
stream, enters the Delaware here. Panther brook, another trout 
stream, with fine cataracts, enters just above. The Falls of the 
Shohola are a great attraction. Nine mountain lakes reached 
easily, the farthest being six miles distant. Hagan, Hagai, Big, 
Montgomery, Sand and York, in Sullivan County, and Big and 
Little Brink, and Big and Little Walker, in Pike County, all 
stocked with bass and pickerel. Bass fishing in the Delaware. 
Deer, bear, fox, rabbit, partridge and woodcock shooting, in 
season. 

Shohola is the station from which a picturesque portion of 
Sullivan County, in the vicinity of Eldred— among the Sullivan 
highlands and lakes— is reached by an enjoyable drive of five 
miles. One of the finest game and fishing regions in Sullivan 
County. 

Guides to the hunting and fishing grounds are numerous, both 
at Shohola and Eldred. Their services command from $2 to $3 
per day. Within a short walk from the station is the famous 

SHOHOLA GLEN. 

In its descent from the mountain tops of Pike County to the 
Delaware, the course of the Shohola creek is tortuous and ex- 
tremely precipitous, so that during the last eight miles of its length 
its fall is nearly one thousand feet ; and its course is such that, 
at one point, the angler may follow it for more than three miles 
and then come out less than a quarter of a mile from where he 
started.

•<// 






I 'or years past this portion 
of the river has Itch a favorite 
resort for the angler -its clear, 
cold water, and its many deep 

rock-bound pools making it a 
famous home for the speckled 
trout. For more than fifty 
years the persevering trout- 
fisher has contentedly worked 
his toilsome way through the 
gorges, rapids and pools of the 
I upper portion of the stream, 
>but he always came to a halt 
at a point above the station, 
'where the rushing water took 
a sudden and mighty leap into 
the unknown, and became lost 
in a narrow, and apparently 
! deep chasm, to reappear again 
a mile or more below. 

Three or four years ago a 
few venturesome visitors deter- 
mined to unravel the mystery, 
and, after many trials and 
much wearisome clambering, 
they succeeded in making a 
comparatively complete explor- 
ation ; but their enthusiastic 
description of the natural won- 
ders they had unearthed failed 
to arouse more than a transient 
local interest until, in 1SS4, the 
, Superintendent of the Delaware 
j Division of the Erie visited the 
I Glen, and discovered that the 
; glowing accounts given by the 
'■ first visitors described but mea- 
Igerly the grandeur and mag- 
; nificent beauty of this peerless 
'exhibition of Nature's handi- 
work. Here was found, within 
a distance of less than a mile, 
succession of chasms and 
grottoes with walls so high 
that the sky overhead appeared 
as an irregular narrow ribbon 
of light, or was lost to view 
altogether by intervening and 
interlacing branches of trees, 
or by shelving rocks ; and, 
through this high-walle d 
gorge, the clear waters of the 
Shohola pursued their erratic 
way, forming an endless series 



of cascades, waterfalls and rapids, now and again being lost to 
view under an overhanging shelf of rock, under which they 
had worn their way by the constant toil of ages. Beautiful 
wild flowers, ferns and mosses line the crannies and crevices of 
the rocky walls, and in many places the action of the water has, 
during the past centuries, dug out from the solid rock a number 
of caves and caverns. 

Certain portions of the glen have been thus fashioned into 
such fantastic and distinctive shapes that they have been 
appropriately christened with such names as Witches' Bou- 
doir, Satan's Nose, Sphinx's Head, Devil's Pass, Hell Gate, 
Thunder Torrent, Cavern Cataract, Terror Grotto, etc., etc. 
These explorations led to practical results. The Erie people 
at once took steps to make known to the outside world the newly 
discovered beauties of this Pike County Wonderland, and they 
inaugurated a series of excursions from along their line to 
accommodate those who desired to visit it. The result was 
that the number of visitors during 1884 and 1SS5 was so greatly 
in excess of the provision that had been made for their enter- 
tainment, that it became evident to those in interest, that more 
elaborate arrangements for the accommodation of future guests 
should be provided, and under the direction of the owner of 
the glen, Mr. Kilgour, whose name is a household word 
throughout the Delaware Valley, not only has this been done, 
but the glen itself has been more thoroughly developed and 
opened up, and each week discovers still greater improvement 
in this direction. 

Among the attractions thus provided for the season of 1886 is 
a suspension cable tramway, or, more properly, perhaps, an 

AERIAL FERRY. 

Two large wire cables are thrown across the gorge at the head 
of the Glen, running parallel with each other, on a four-foot 
gauge. They are anchored in the solid rock on either side. 
Basket cars, suspended by wires or rods from four grooved 
wheels, into which the cables deeply fit, run across the chasm, 
carrying passengers to and fro. The cars have room for half a 
dozen persons. They run by gravity in one direction, and are 
drawn across in the other direction by an endless wire rope and 
a windlass, which is worked by a turbine water wheel taking its 
power from the stream. A horizontal iron bar, with inclosed 
pulleys at each end, fitting on and running along the cable, is 
attached to the running gear of the cars, to keep the gauge in- 
tact. This novel thoroughfare will give a sort of traveling-in- 
the-Andes air to explorations in the Glen, which cannot help 
but be a source of endless delight to visitors. 

Another new feature is 

THE SWITCH-BACK RAILWAY, 

by which visitors will be given the exhilarating and exciting expe- 
riences which none but pleasure routes of this character can evoke. 
The Switch-back Railway starts from the Erie Railway, near the 
Shohola Glen House, and passes at first in a direction opposite 



St 

to that by which the Glen is naturally reached. It sweeps to 
the rear of the Kilgour summer residence ami grounds, and cir- 
cles gradually to the face of the cliff west of the village. Reach- 
ing the cliff, the road turns Glen-ward, and follows the ledge to 
the creek, opposite the old null at the Glen entrance. On the 
return trip the road climbs the cliff until an elevation of one 
hundred feet is reached, from which the cars speed hack to the 
starting point at the station. The trip to and from the Glen by 
this novel means is a thrilling ride of two miles. There are no 
locomotive cinders, no smoke, no dust, for the elegant cars are 
run without locomotives, by the same system of inclined planes 
and gravitation that has made the switch-back roads of the 
Pennsylvania coal fields so popular and famous. In the own- 
ership of such an attraction Shohola Glen stands alone among 
the summer resorts of the world. The summer visitor is partic- 
ularly commended to this rare spot in the Erie territory. 

LACKAWAXEN, Pa. — This most interesting locality combines 
all the requisites of a summer retreat. The scenery is superb, 
and the view up and down the valley is of surpassing loveliness. 
It is on the Delaware and Lackawaxen rivers, in the hunting and 
fishing region of Pike and Wayne Counties, Ta., and Sullivan 
County, N. Y. The attractions of this place are its pure air, its 
beautiful scenery, its fishing, its boating, and the general wild- 
ness that pervades the surroundings. It is wrapped about by 
mountains, from which wild streams come down through the 
most secluded glens, and over high precipices, and tumbled 
rocks. Qn the summits are fair lakes, mirroring still higher 
hills, and fringing forests. On one side, the Delaware makes 
its pathway between the mountains, coming suddenly upon the 
sight around the environing headlands a mile up the valley, and 
disappearing as suddenly around another a mile below. On the 
other side, the noisy Lackawaxen comes pouring in over its bed 
of giant boulders, after a devious forty-mile journey from the 
Moosic Mountains. Where the two valleys join a high and 
ragged cliff rears its ancient crest like a sentinel on guard. In 
its shadow the waters unite and expand between the hills in a 
large and irregular basin — a calm, glassy, beautiful lake, a mile 
in length and a quarter of a mile wide. Roads climb the sur- 
rounding hills, and lead to many a point of interest. Across the 
river, a mile below the station, at all, solitary pine-tree marking 
the spot, was fought, nearly a century ago, one of the bloodiest 
Indian battles in our frontier history. There Brant's warriors 
trapped the Minisink militia into an ambuscade, on July 20, 
1779, and a day's brave and bloody defense by the frontiersmen 
only resulted in the slaughter of nearly every one of their num- 
ber. The monument at Goshen commemorates the heroes of 
this battle. Five miles back of Lackawaxen is the spot where 
Horace Greeley attempted to found a Social Community, after 
the manner of Fourier, and failed. The Delaware and Hudson 
Canal is carried across the Delaware river at Lackawaxen by a 
suspension aqueduct, one of the first of the late John A. Roeb- 
ling's engineering feats. Halfway between Lackawaxen and 
Shohola is Panther brook, with its charming glen and cataract, 
and its trout. A mile above the station is Lord's brook, which 



82 

forms a number of handsome falls a short distance back in the 
woods, and adds its quota of trout to the demand of the neighbor- 
hood. On the top of the ridge across the Delaware, a mile 
from Lackawaxen, is York lake, a large sheet of crystal water, 
stocked with the choicest pickerel. Beyond the crag that stands 
at the junction of the Delaware and Lackawaxen Valleys is 
Wescoline lake, also famous for pickerel. Taylor's brook is 
five miles distant ; the Shohola fishing-grounds, six ; Beaver 
brook, three miles ; Blooming Grove, and its streams, lakes 
and hunting grounds, twelve miles, over a good road. Deer, 
bear, partridge, woodcock ; bass, trout, pickerel, eels, cat-fish. 
No mosquitoes or malaria. 

NARROWSBURG, N. Y. — On the Delaware river at Big Eddy, 
the widest and deepest part of Delaware river above tide ; literally, 
a large lake of pure spring water. Best of black bass fishing. 
Boating for two miles. Ten mountain lakes within eight miles. 
Numerous trout streams in vicinity. No mosquitoes or malaria. 
Cool nights. Deer hunting on surrounding ridges. Partridge 
shooting good. Splendid drives. Local sportsmen always ready 
to accompany visitors. Livery near station, $4 per day. 

Here within a few years has grown up a charming summer 
stopping-place. Its popularity is due not only to the beautiful 
surroundings, but also to the excellent hotel that the first city 
comers found at the place, and which is still here under the 
same management. Narrowsburg gets its name from the 
Narrows in the Delaware just above the station, where the 
river finds a passage between rocky shores, which afford 
sure foundation for the ancient bridge that spans the stream at 
that point. Below the Narrows the river widens into what is 
known as Big Eddy, one of the broadest places on the stream, 
as well as the deepest above tide-water. This eddy is dreaded 
by raftsmen. In passing from the current of the Narrows into 
the quiet of the eddy, their rafts are liable to be thrown from 
the regular channel into the great "swirl" below the bridge. 
To extricate them from this counter-channel is often the work 
of hours. It sometimes happens that sereral rafts are captured 
in this way, and then a jam is sure to follow, raft after raft 
rushing in from the Narrows, until the eddy is filled with 
lumber for which there is no thoroughfare. It is not an un- 
usual occurrence, during these jams, for the freshet to subside 
before the eddy can be cleared of rafts. Then they must " lay 
up " for another rise of water. The visitor who seeks the 
opportunity for boating that Big Eddy offers will doubtless oe 
struck with the number of transparent bubbles he sees floating 
on or constantly rising to the surface. If he should by any 
chance throw a lighted match among a collection of these, 
beyond question he would be surprised to see them ignite and 
burn for a few seconds with a bright flame. These bubbles 
are formed by an inflammable gas that arises from the bottom 
of the river. It also appears in the sand along the shore, and 
may be lighted in many places. This once led to the belief 
that petroleum existed in the vicinity, a belief that subsequent 
investigation failed to justify. 



83 

Narrowsburg is in the midst of such scenery as has already 
been described in the Delaware Valley. There are lakes and 
streams and mountains; splendid views and healthful air and 
water. There are points about the place that will interest the 
antiquarian. Thomas Dunn and wife, refugees from the 
Wyoming Massacre, are buried at NarroVsburg, where they 
lived many years alter the Revolution, and where descendants 
of theirs still live. On the hill overlooking the river below 
Narrowsburg, on the Pennsylvania side, was cut, in 17S6, the 
mainmast that carried the colors of the old frigate Constitution 
through so many bloody battles during the war of 1812. This 
mast was a pine tree which stood on the mountain, and the 
only one answering the specifications of the contract that a 
search over three States resulted in finding. Even then it was 
necessary to dig ten feet in the earth and tell it, in order to get 
the required length. It was hauled to the foot of Big Eddy, 
and floated to Philadelphia by Simeon and Franklin Westfall. 
One of the earliest settlements in the Delaware Valley was 
made at big Eddy, and numerous rare relics of the "original 
people " have been found in the neighborhood. 

Besides being a favorite summer resort, Narrowsburg is now 
a leading dining-station on the Erie, all trains stopping 
there for meals. The Murray House is one of the most 
excellent public places on the line. It was formerly a famous 
stage-coach house when Wilkes-Barre, Ilonesdale, and much 
of Central Pennsylvania was reached by the Erie. 

A few years ago the headwaters of the Delaware were stocked 
with California mountain trout, which now afford fine sport to 
the angler in this section. 

Cochecton, N. Y. — Before the completion of the Tort Jervis 
and Monticello Branch of the Erie Railway, this station was 
well known as the railway point nearest White lake, and some 
tourists still prefer this route, the drive from Cochecton to White 
lake being but fourteen miles, over a good road, and one rich in 
fine scenery. The location of Cochecton is well calculated to 
make it a popular summer retreat. The valley here is very 
wide, the Upper Delaware having nowhere such an extent of 
fertile plain. Cochecton village is neat and cosy, and there is an 
air of pastoral ease about it that at once attracts the visitor. The 
name Cochecton is the modern rendering of the Indian word 
Cush-e-tunk. All this region was explored by whites as early as 
1687. In that year Governor Dongan desired authority from 
the committee of trade of New York to erect a " Campayne fort 
upon the Delaware river in4i° 40' " (the present site of Cochec- 
lon), to preserve the beaver trade of the country and protect the 
beaver hunters from the hostility of the French. It was from 
this point also that the possessions of William Penn extended 
westward to the Susquehanna. The great river flat at Cochec- 
ton was once the site of an important Indian village, to which 
trails led from all parts of the country. Here the savages from 
a wide area of territory met to observe their ancient customs. 
Here they " burnt the white dog," held their green-corn dances, 
performed marriage ceremonies, and played their favorite games. 
Here, according to tradition, lived the great Indian sage, Tarn- 




anend or Tamany, and the flats are yet known as St. Tamany's. 
Historical leminiscences of more than ordinary interest cluster 
about Cochecton, and near by, on the Pennsylvania side of the 
river, the first settlement in Pennsylvania under the Connecticut 
title, as opposed to Penn's, was made in 1757. Here some 
bloody contests occurred between these settlers and the adher- 
ents of Penn, but descendants of the first comers still occupy 
much of the land then taken up. The first connection ever made 
between the Upper Delaware and Susquehanna valleys was by 
a trail from Cochecton through the present county of Wayne, 
in Pennsylvania, to the Indian village Capouse, now Scranton, 
and thence to Wyoming. Subsequently a wagon road was cut 
from the Hudson river to Cochecton, and then followed the 
above-mentioned trail to Wyoming— the first road ever built from 
the Hudson to the Susquehanna. The settlers at Cochecton 
were frequently attacked by the Indians, and dwelt for years 
among scenes of blood, but left a fair heritage to their posterity. 
The entire country does not possess a spot abounding in so many 
and such interesting legends of the early days as this garden- 
spot of the Delaware. One of America's greatest romancists — ■ 
James Fenimore Cooper — enriched many of his works by scenes 
drawn from this locality. 

As a summer retreat this interesting spot offers many induce- 
ments. The scenery is fine, the surroundings healthful. There 
are several fine lakes in the mountains, within four miles of the 
station, affording both pickerel and trout fishing. Lake Hun- 
tington and Mitchell lake, on the New York side, are noted 
places, with good roads leading to them from the station. 
Among the trout streams are Calkins' brook, Bush's creek, Tyler 
brook, Beaver-dam creek and Mitchell brook, all near at hand. 

The Delaware river is crossed at Cochecton by a fine bridge. 
Three miles below Cochecton, Calkins' creek, a stream named 
from one of the first settlers, comes into the Delaware on the 
Pennsylvania side. Here, in a romantic spot, is the neat village 
of Milanville. It was here that some of the settlers of 1757 
located, and where many of them were massacred by Indians. 
Many of the residents of this village are descendants of the origi- 
nal settlers. 

Three miles from Cochecton, in Wayne County, passing 



S5 

through die pretty village of Damascus, which lies along the 
river and climbs the rising ground opposite Cochecton, is the 
village of Tyler Hill, a collection of beautiful residences, and a 
post village. The surroundings of this elevated vicinity are 
among the attractions of Cochecton. The visitor has before him 
tin- beautiful country up and down the Delaware; the rolling 
land to the westward, with many high mountain peaks looking 
down into fertile valleys, and intervening stretches of wood and 
farm. The distant mountains of Sullivan County bound the 
river on the east. 

CALLICOON, N. Y. — In the midst of surroundings of a wild 
and rugged character. Callicoon village is the centre of one of 
the famous trout regions of the Delaware Valley. The Calli- 
coon creek, which enters the 1 Delaware a short distance below 
the station, threads the back wilderness and a splendid farming 
section. Along its entire course, from the hills on either 
side, tributary streams flow into it at short intervals. The 
main stream and its feeders are natural trout creeks, and all 
the season long they afford royal sport to the angler. These 
brooks are within an area of five miles from the station. On 
the Pennsylvania side of the river is Ilollister creek. For two 




miles from the river this creek flows through a wild and narrow 
gorge, and seeks the level of the river by a series of wonderful 
waterfalls. The borders of the creek are thickly grown with 
rhododendrons, and the early summer fills the glen with banks 
of pink-tinted bloom. 

Numerous lakes cluster in the hills on both sides of the river, 
the famous Bethel township lakes, in Sullivan County, being 
within easy reach. In Wayne County, Galilee lake, Duck 
harbor, Swago lake, and others, are near and convenient of ac- 
cess. Bass, pickerel, and perch fishing are attractions of these 
waters. All the hotels and boarding-houses give information 
as to guides. No malaria or mosquitoes. 

HANKINS, N.V. — A station among the upper Delaware moun- 
tains. Splendid country back on the hills. Fine scenery. Best of 
trout and bass fishing. Deer, partridge and small game in 
season. Long pond, Basket pond, Mott pond, Low pond, Han- 
kins creek, Basket creek, Back brook, Centre creek, Trout 
creek, and others in the vicinity. No malaria or mosquitoes. 



S6 

LoRDVILLE, N. Y. — In a prosperous lumbering section of the 
Delaware Valley, with abundance of rugged mountain scenery. 
Trout streams and bass fishing in Delaware river. Good sport 
with dog and gun. 

Hancock, N. Y. — The Mohawk or West Branch of the Dela- 
ware river rises on the southern slope of a spur of the Catskills, 
in Schoharie County, N. Y. The Popacton or East Branch has 
its head in the wilderness of upper Ulster County. The two 
branches run nearly parallel across Delaware County, being 
divided by a ridge of mountains eleven miles wide, and meet 
around the base of a great dome-like hill at Hancock. This 
spot was called She-haw-ken by the Indians, which means 




"where the waters meet." The village here was formerly 
called by that name. Hancock, the present village, is sur- 
rounded by the loftiest elevations of the Delaware Highlands, 
all of which are heavily wooded. At no point along the river 
is the scenery more grand. Hancock is a neat and beautifully 
located place, and is the centre of the great lumber region of 
the upper Delaware. The country between Hancock and Cal- 
licoon is extremely rugged, and frequent mills, tanneries and 
lumbering stations suggest at once the source of its prosperity. 
Hancock is literally surrounded by trout streams, there being 
no less than eleven within convenient reach. Cadosia, Reeds, 
Sands, Shehawken, Trout, Pease Eddy, and Tyler creeks are 
among them. The Beaver Kill is only twelve miles distant. 
The scenery on and about these streams is grand — falls, glens 
and wild ravines being met with at short intervals. Hancock 
is rapidly becoming one of the most popular mountain resorts 
in the country. There are many fine lakes in the vicinity. 
Deer, bear, partridge. Black bass in the Delaware. Good livery. 
Hale's Eddy, N. Y. —Among the Delaware Highlands. 
Good fishing and hunting. Splendid scenery. No malaria or 
mosquitoes. 

• Deposit, N. Y. — Here the Erie leaves the Delaware. De- 
posit is a thriving village, surrounded by high hills. Three 
miles from Deposit is a mountain lake, nearly a mile long, sur- 
rounded with woods of beech, maple and pine. This lake is 
called < >uaquaga. B. F. Taylor says very truly : "If there is 



S7 

a more restful place than this outside 'God's acres,' T have 
railed to find it ; " and he adds : " The mountain road to the 
lake is picturesque enough to Lead to Paradise."

Jn the JjAckawaxen Yalley. 



Via Honesdale Branch, from Lackawaxen. 



ITINERARY. 



Mn i. villi:, Pa.— Seven miles from Lackawaxen is the vil- 
lage of Millville, where the Blooming Grove creek enters the 
Lackawaxen. Near Millville is the princely domain of the 
Blooming Grove Park Association. The property of the Asso- 
ciation consists of twelve thousand acres of wild mountain and 
valley lands, well adapted for the rearing and preservation of 
game. The region is as romantic and healthy as the Adiron- 
dacks, and it is destined to become as great a resort for summer 
idlers as the wilderness immortalized by the pen of Murray. 
Within its boundaries there are several miles of trout streams 



and eight beautiful lakes stocked with black bass and other 
fish. On the high bank of the clearest and fairest of this chain 
of lakes a Club house has been built, and furnished with accom- 
modations for eighty people. The point is fifteen hundred feet 
above tide-water, and it is free from malaria and mosquitoes. 
The Club possesses a valuable charter from the State of Penn- 
sylvania, enabling it to make its own laws for the rearing and 
preservation of fish and game, and clothing its park-keepers 
with power to arrest trespassers. The Association is dual in 
character. It admits women to all of its privileges. The 
anglers and hunters take their wives and children into the 
woods with them. The Club-house and grounds afford every 
facility for social enjoyments. In the parlor there is a grand 
piano, and the room is large enough for dancing. From the 
breezy balconies a magnificent view is obtained. The eye 
wanders over lakes and hills, and in the dim distance rests upon 
the tops of the Catskill Mountains. A billiard-room and a 
bowling-alley are attached to the house, and the lake is well 
supplied with boats. The wives and daughters of the members 
have organized an archery club, and the competitions for 
prizes with the long-bow form a delightful feature of Park lite. 
Board for members and their invited guests is furnished at the 
moderate'price of $10 each per week. Seven hundred acres of 
the forest have been enclosed with stone and wire fence, and 
within it elk, deer, and other game are bred. The shooting 
in Blooming Grove Park consists of deer, black bear, woodcock, 
ruffed grouse, hares, rabbits, ducks and snipe. The spot is so 
attractive and so easy of access that it cannot fail to grow in 
popularity. Tink, Big and Little Corilla, Knob, White Deer 
and Jones' lakes are within a radius of 7 miles. Several pictur- 
esque waterfalls near. Livery may be had at Millville, where 
there are also first-class hotel accommodations. 

Hawley, Pa.- — Here, on the boundary of Wayne and Pike 
Counties, is much to interest and attract the tourist. Hawley is 
one hundred and twenty-five miles from New York, and all 
around it the sportsman will find the finest of lakes and streams 
and noted game haunts. The Wallenpaupack river, its head- 
waters interlocking with those of the Lehigh, far back in the 
rocono Wilderness, enters the Lackawaxen at Hawley. Its 
flow, until it reaches within a mile and a half of Hawley, is 
deep and sluggish. At the point named a series of the most 
magnificent falls commences. The first plunge of the water is 
over a precipice seventy-five feet, and from there on to the last 
fall, a half mile above the mouth of the stream, the descent of 
the stream is two hundred and fifty feet. The grand fall, a 
portion of it visible from the railroad, but mostly hidden by a 
cluster of mills and factories, is about eighty feet high and fifty 
in width, the ledge over which it thunders having been worn 
in horse-shoe form. The volume of water pouring over the 
rocks is very large, and the effect of the fall from all points is 
exceedingly striking. Unfortunately, in an aesthetic view, the 
water-power furnished by this fall is so valuable that it has 
called into being a number of industries, the requirements of 
which detract somewhat from the romance of the surroundings ; 



io 3 

but nevertheless, the tails cannot fail to awaken pleasurable 
emotions in the most utilitarian mind. Hawley is the terminus 
of the Famous < Ira\ ity Railroad of the Pennsylvania « loal I !om 
pany. < >ne of the grandest excursion routes in America. Scran- 
ton, 35 miles, hearl of Lackawanna coal region. Lake [ones, 
6 miles; White Deer lake, 9 miles. In the Pike County game 
and fish region. Trout, bass and pickerel ; deer, hear, fox, 
partridge, rabbits. Trout streams, from 1 to 8 miles. Also 
station for Blooming drove Park. Good hotels and livery. 
From 1 law ley, the new 

ERIE AND WYOMING VALLEY UAILROAD 

extends through the romantic region lying between the Lack- 
awaxen, Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys. The Moosic 
Mountains, a spur of the Alleghenies, and one of the loftiest 
mountain chains n the State', oiler great attractions to the sum- 
mer sojourner. There are many streams, waterfalls and lakes. 
The country is densel) wooded. The sportsman will find ample 
opportunity along this branch of the Erie for the exercise of his 
skill with both rod and gun. 

HONESDALE, Pa. — One of the handsomest and wealthiest 
villages in Pennsylvania. Lackawaxen and Dyberry rivers run 
through the place. Streets broad and bordered with maples and 
elms. Excellent drives. Bethany, 3 miles ; Mart Kimble's, 2 
miles ; White Mills, 5 miles ; Waymart, 10 miles. Beautiful 
park of maples in centre of village. 12 famous bass and pickerel 
lakes within from 6 to 14 miles. Trout fishing within 2 to 5 
miles. Terminus of the celebrated Gravity Railroad owned 




by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company. This road 
extend idale, 17 miles, in the upper Lackawanna coal 

regions. In connection with the similar road from Hawley, it 
is now one of the most popular excursion roads in America. 
The cars run up and down high hills, there being no motive 
power perceptible to the tourist. At one point, an elevation of 
2,000 feel above tide is reached. The road curves abruptly 
around mountains, and traverses glens and the sides of lofty 
hills. The ride is exhilarating, grand, indescribable. Hundreds 



104 

of tourists enjoy it daily during the summer and fall months. 
The Honesdale livery accommodations are excellent. 

Honesdale is situated between high hills, on a plain through 
which two romantic mountain streams flow, uniting in the 
village, and forming the Lackawaxen river. There are two 
wide basins where the streams unite, and the water is formed 
into the most picturesque lakes. From the eastern shore of one 
of these, Lake Dyberry, a solid ledge of serried and moss- 
grown slate rock rises almost sheer to the height of nearly 400 
feet. The village itself is 800 feet above the sea level. 

The New York Tribune, in its issue of April 17, 1885, speaks 
as follows of Honesdale : " Philip Hone, who was probably the 
courtliest mayor New York ever had, was the first president of 
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company. The beautiful 
village that sprung from the woods at the head of the canal in 
Wayne County, Pa., near the coal mines, was called Honesdale 
in his honor. In the summer of 1844, Philip Hone, John Jacob 
Astor, and other eminent gentlemen interested in the canal, in- 
vited Washington Irving to join them in a junketing trip from 
New York to Rondout, and then by private packet from that 
place up the canal to Honesdale. A boat was fitted up in the 
most elegant manner to carry them. The trip was described in 
a letter from Irving to his sister in glowing terms. This 
beautiful blending of rock, lake and stream elicited many 
expressions of delight from Washington Irving, and he insisted 
on scaling the rocky height in order to study the surround- 
ing scenery. The entire company climbed to the summit 
by a circuitous course. The delight of Irving was so great 




when he had reached the summit — from which the country for 
a hundred miles around is spread beneath the eye— that Philip 
1 [one insisted that the ledge be known as Irving Cliff, and that 
Washington Irving christen it as such. This he did by break- 
ing a bottle of champagne on the rock. A maple bordered 
road extending along the base of the cliff, between it and the 
water, Irving named Lady wood lane, a name it bears to this 
day."
